On Sleeping in Her Crib

January 3, 2008 By Kelle

It hasn’t happened. I found out there’s something more beautiful than holding her hand while she sleeps in the bassinet next to us…holding her hand while she sleeps in the bed between us. And, I think I’ve been beating myself up over it because I feel like I’d be scorned by other people for having a family bed. I’m over those other people. We’re both so at peace with her being in our bed and we all sleep so beautifully all night. It’s like a little closed circuit…one, two, three little bodies snuggled up next to each other just turns on that little lightbulb. It’s not to say we won’t put her in the crib tomorrow. But, for now we enjoy her little body nestled right between us. Our Lainey Sandwich.

    I have a two week old bug and she is definitely in our bed….feels odd to have her anywhere else. We don’t know what we are doing as brand-spankin’ new parents, but we know what feels right.

    OK, coming back to the beginning and seeing Lainey’s baby pictures, I’m astounded at how much Nella looks like her!
